    By decree of the BB.
    And a preposition is not what you should end a sentence with.

    So, I demand my consitutional rights to be tried by a court of my peers, the Lords and Ladies of the realm, and that the robber Barons have no rights over those of pure blood!





    Infamy, infamy, you've all got it infamy!

    Baah Humbug!

    But we all know there is no sanity clause.

    On second thoughts - I've just noticed the Lady Megan had re-edited my edit of her post and undone my deletions of her clue! So the Lady Megan in an act of treachery falls from grace and the Don will be allowed his victory after all!

    Fragrant breaking of rules indeed! You're confusing the word with that bottle of Chablis you've just opened, Herr von Blue Baron!
    Glad to see that you've seen sense and offered me the glory I so richly deserve!
    Please watch this space for my own Xmas teaser which I shall launch as I do battle with my Xmas menu (see General forum).

    "Handel in the Strand" was hard enough. Except for the bloody bird adrift. And the Don has muddied the waters with that one!
